Barossa Valley

We packed up camp in Leasingham, and set off for a bike ride to Auburn. 

The glossy brochures said there were heaps of cafés in Auburn and we thought we'd try one for breakfast. While the 20km return bike ride along the Riesling Trail to Auburn was lovely and very scenic, it was slightly down hill, and we didn't notice the tale wind until we turned around to ride back!!  Upon arrival we realised we were sadly misled about the eateries, and rode back to the car very hungry! 

We set off for the Barossa Valley, stopping in Kapunda for lunch. By this stage we were quite famished, so when we saw a sign saying "10min Pizzas" we were there!! The pizza selections were excellent, and we chose two different pizzas and a bacon and egg burger for Ronan and sat down at the only table in the store. About 20min past and we were wondering where our 10min pizzas were. Both staff seemed to be busy doing something, we assumed they were preparing our food, they were opening and closing fridges, and appearing at the counter, so must have seen us still in the store. At about 30mins, Troy had had enough of waiting, he pushed back his chair and as it scraped on the tiles, one of the staff came out saying "Have you finished?" Troy said "You need to be served the food to have finished it!" They were quite embarrassed and compensated us with not only great pizzas, but dessert as well! It was quite amusing! 

We continued on to Tanunda, and set up camp in the only caravan park in town! The kids were pleased as it had a jumping pillow! Once established we ventured in to have a look around the town. It was another quaint little place, I very impressed with the stone work of the buildings, particularly the Lutheran Church. 

We wandered though the shops, then headed back to the park for dinner and bed.
